SunColor - Acrylic Water-based
Concrete Coating in Austin, TX
SUNDEK® SunColor Installed by Sundek of Austin
Need to refresh your concrete with durable, long-lasting color — without a full resurfacing project? SUNDEK® SunColor is a water-based acrylic finish coat designed to restore and protect bare or decorative concrete surfaces. Installed by Sundek of Austin, SunColor offers a cost-effective way to brighten patios, pool decks, driveways, and commercial walkways across Central Texas.
What Is SunColor?
SunColor is an acrylic emulsion-based concrete finish coat that bonds directly to properly prepared concrete surfaces.
It can be applied over:
- Bare concrete
- Textured concrete
- Decorative overlays
- Existing SUNDEK systems
Unlike penetrating stains, SunColor forms a durable, breathable protective layer that enhances color while shielding the surface from water and environmental exposure.
Why Choose an Acrylic Finish Coat?
Many Austin homeowners and property managers choose SunColor because it provides:
Its breathable properties allow moisture vapor to escape naturally — helping resist blistering caused by trapped moisture.
Can SunColor Help Keep Surfaces Cooler?
Yes. Certain color selections and coating applications can contribute to reflective properties that help reduce surface heat absorption.
In some applications, this may support sustainability goals and contribute toward LEED considerations.
In Austin’s intense summer heat, reflective concrete coatings can improve comfort on pool decks and patios.
Ideal for High-Traffic Areas
SunColor performs exceptionally well in:
- Pool deck surrounds
- Patios
- Driveways and porte-cochères
- Walkways and entryways
- Courtyards
- Commercial walkways
- Institutional and industrial properties
Its durability and flexibility make it well-suited for high-traffic environments throughout Austin.

SunColor isn’t just protective — it can be part of a broader decorative solution.
It can incorporate SUNDEK design enhancements such as:
- Custom Scoreline
- Aggregate Effects
- Masonry Effects
This allows you to combine surface protection with aesthetic improvement.
